Controversies
Jaaz Multimedia's chairman Aziz has been a fugitive since 2019, when the Customs Intelligence and Investigation Department of the National Board of Revenue accused him of money laundering.[4] During his rule, he threatened Dhallywood star Shakib Khan to kill. Shakib filed a case against five people including assistant director and Jaaz's then CEO Shish Monowar.[7] Shish Manwar, the then CEO of Jaaz Multimedia, has been arrested over a case filled for kidnapping one of its staff on 2014.[15]
